Install or update

  1. Need the base game first? Download and extract the original Offline DAoC v0.3 release.
  2. Close the game, server and launcher. Download UPDATE-OFFLINE-DAOC.cmd and Update-OfflineDAoC.ps1 into your game folder (next to START OFFLINE DAOC.cmd) and run the .cmd.
  3. It downloads the update pack, checks its SHA-256, backs up every file it replaces under update-backups, and installs it. Saves, account.txt and configs are never touched. After the first update, run UPDATE OFFLINE DAOC.cmd from the game folder to get later releases.

Coming from a v0.3 game with characters? The first launch asks for a one-time Camlann world reset (full backup first, local account kept). Old characters do not carry over.

Changes in 0.276.0

Added

  • Starter gear is marked in the companion gear window (TASKS 129): a
    gold * in the corner of a slot marks an item that stays with the
    companion, so you see it before a give is refused.

Changed

  • The companion gear window is now part of the Companion Manager
    client
    (TASKS 129). build_companion_manager_client.py builds it into
    the manager's own game.dll section, without the probe's debug status
    codes. The title shows the companion's name, the backpack heading counts
    its items, and the last reply to a move stays in the window.
  • [Open inventory] in the Companion Manager opens the gear window
    instead of the House Vault list. An older manager client, which cannot
    show the window, gets the House Vault list after three seconds, and at
    once on later opens.
  • The command is now /companions gear [name] (/companions gear off
    closes it). /companions gearprobe still works.
  • The manager client stage is companion-manager-stage-0.276.0
    (game.dll bfefe97d…). Install-CompanionManager.ps1 upgrades an
    installed 0.272.0 manager or either paperdoll probe in place. It backs up
    and restores custom6_window.xml too. The release pack ships the new
    stage and may replace the 0.272.0 and probe client files.

Removed

  • The paperdoll probe tooling (probe_companion_paperdoll.py, its test
    and Install-CompanionPaperdollProbe.ps1). The manager builder and its
    emulation test now cover the window; the probe files remain in the
    v0.275.0 history.
